Today we find out if their opinions have changed.

I love how they spent more of their time talking about The Orville than they did about Star Wreck Diversity.


I have to admit, I am a little disappointed Jay just says "It was fine" to Dunkirk. I felt the movie was very good, well researched and superbly well shot. With a definite surprise in Harry Styles being good on screen. Nolan's attention to detail is rather infamous and it took me and my friend (who love to pick over historical movies) all the way to the final minute of the film to spot something wrong.

That being said, I know the Miracle of Dunkirk has less impact/common knowledge in the USA than it is here.

Interesting pick for favourite movie and I'll have to check out A Ghost Story sometime as they both seemed to really like it.
 
I've yet to see Dunkirk. Something about a PG-13 war film doesn't appeal to me.

I really think it's more they use this sort of year-end wrapup to highlight more obscure films, or films that people expected them to say something about (and those tend to be genre pictures). Everyone knows about Dunkirk, it's almost certainly bound for multiple Oscar nominations.

I'd say it's got that rating because it's not full of soldiers saying "fuck" every 10 seconds. It's not about the war per se, but the evacuation and the miraculous events around it. There's surprisingly little blood shed in it for a war film. I highly highly reccomend it as you see a genuinely fascinating piece of british WW2 history.

Yeah, I can get that and see that as fair. They've definitely piqued my interest with A Ghost Story.

It's not language it's the depiction of violence. There's no way that a PG-13 movie can show the reality of war. It's impossible.

The film primarily focuses on the actual evacuation operation as opposed to the war. So it's not as violent as a "real" war film. It does it's best but the subject matter is more the drama of the need to get 400,000 British and French troops out of France as it falls to the Nazis.
